She's hit the headlines over the past 12 months for a number of risqué photo opportunities.

But Lisa Appleton has revealed she was left feeling so low that she "feared [she] couldn't carry on" at one point, after negative comments and comfort eating ensured she piled on the pounds.

Having taken a knock in the self-esteem department, the 49-year-old reality star decided to spend £7,000 on a new look - achieving a "bond girl" body over two days of surgery.

Revealing her new look in Closer magazine , Lisa revealed the full extent she went to to realise her dreams.

Explaining she dropped form a size 16 to a 10-12 after going under the knife, Lisa said: "I look 20 years younger now! I look like a sexy Bond Girl and I could definitely give Sophie Anderton a run for her money."

Lisa said that she knew that surgery was the root for her after she started looking at photos of herself and not liking what she saw.

And that's exactly what she chose to do, as Lisa went for a complete overhaul that included: full face and neck lift, an eyelid lift and Body-Jet liposuction.

But her dream look wasn't achieved painlessly. Going under the knife over two consecutive days, with only a local anaesthetic for the procedures, she admitted: "I was swollen and bruised for week after but I could see a difference instantly."

Going over why she felt the need to take such drastic measures, Lisa said she'd hit an all-time low earlier this year. Revealing that she'd been binging on up to 50 sausages a day, Lisa realised that she needed something to change.

"It was hard not to let all the comments get to me and, despite how I seemed on the outside, I started feeling uncomfortable in my outfits," she admitted. "I released I wanted to get my old body back, but at nearly 50, I felt I needed a helping hand."

Thrilled with the results of her two days in surgery Lisa said she could see herself going under the knife again, adding: "I wouldn't say no to a designer vagina to neaten things up a bit!"
